For a fixed coil thickness and number of layers (determined by the aperture and the required gradient) a bigger strand means: – – – a lower number of turns (fabrication labor) and a lower inductance (quench temperature); a more efficient design (fraction of superconductor is higher for the same insulation thickness); but a higher current (current leads start to be a problem at some point). • 1 mm strand is at about the sweet spot for the HL designs. Also the cable dimensions are similar to what is presently used for the 15 -16 T dipoles developed within the US MDP program and for the past 12 T HFDA models fabricated and tested at FNAL – a lot of practical experience with this kind of cable. • Strand diameter has to be reduced to 0. 8 mm for the LL designs to meet the maximum current requirement. 3 4/11/2018 V.

One spacer/octant in the inner layer – sufficient for the field quality. Full cable keystoning in the outer layers of the HL designs. The coil peak field in LL design is 14 T: – a hybrid design with Nb. Ti conductor in the outer layer is possible. • The peak coil field in HL designs is 16 T - requires Nb 3 Sn in all the layers. 5 4/11/2018 V. V. Kashikhin | Quadrupole magnets for the FCC triplets
Iron yoke (fields at the nominal gradients) LL-Q 1/Q 2/Q 3 HL-Q 1 OD = 700 mm OD = 350 mm HL-Q 2/Q 3 OD = 900 mm • General constraints: – Yoke OD < 1 m (FCC requirement); – Peak field at the yoke outer surface < 2 T (at the nominal gradient) to minimize the fringe fields. 6 4/11/2018 V.

Summary • The LL magnet requirements are within reach of the Nb. Ti technology. With the best available Nb. Ti strand, it becomes a feasible (and the most cost-effective) option. In case of the Nb 3 Sn design (or a hybrid Nb 3 Sn/Nb. Ti), it is possible to increase the nominal gradient by 10 -20% and to proportionally reduce the magnetic length. • The HL-Q 1 magnet parameters are at the present limit of the Nb 3 Sn technology. Slightly more challenging than 150 mm HL-LHC quadrupoles. The design feasibility has to be proven by the conductor and the magnet R&D campaigns, which can largely benefit from the LARP/HL-LHC experience. • The HL-Q 2/Q 3 parameters are very challenging. A substantial R&D is required to prove the feasibility: – Azimuthal stress is over the acceptable limit already at the nominal gradient. The equivalent stress would be even higher. Stress management is necessary. A 4 -layer design may be needed because of the reduced efficiency due to the internal support structure. Alternatively, using of the more strain-tolerant materials (Nb 3 Al) can be considered, but because of the lower critical current density the number of layers would also go up. – The stored energy is an order of magnitude higher than for the LL magnets. For Q 3, the total stored energy is over 30 MJ at the nominal gradient. The quench protection needs to be carefully studied. 9 4/11/2018 V. V. Kashikhin | Quadrupole magnets for the FCC triplets
